Re: RFC: patch to lin-lwp.c



If not, I'd like to clearly indicate who can approve patches
to lin-lwp.c.

It's more who ought to than who can.  I think any of you, me,
Mark, or Jim Blandy (and maybe we ought to add Jeff Johnston)
are qualified to approve them, but I don't know which one or
two persons understand it fully enough to be called on as a
maintainer.  Jim and I, for instance, worked on it a long time
ago.

Part of the problem, I think, is that nobody really wants it.
It's complicated, difficult, and fragile.

The general trend for such code to not have an explicit maintainer. Instead changes get approved using peer-review that involves at least one core maintainer. Anything architectural being pulled out and discssed separatly.


I should also red flag that changing the target vector means changing the thread code so "it could be fun times".

enjoy,
Andrew
